Thanks to our driveway artist, Robin Tonelli, for setting up this partnership with the awesome folks at First Christian Church (1200 East Boulevard). The church is in the heart of the Dilworth Home Tour and the driveway art that we created will be seen by hundreds of people as they walk the 44th Annual route.
Stop by First Christian Church on the Dilworth Home Tour 2016 to see some driveway art by #thesavageway.

The tour takes place this weekend, Friday (9/16), from 6-9pm and Saturday (9/17), from 10am-5pm. You can still buy tickets here (show your receipt at any of the Tour homes to pick up these tickets). You can also purchase tickets at Paper Skyscraper, Dilworth Drugs, Park Road Books, and Ultra Running Company.
The homes on tour are: 2001 Dilworth Road West, 1918 Lennox, 1114 Linganore, 2402 Cumberland, 504 McDonald, 1715 Euclid, 1238 Belgrave, and the Dilworth Community Garden at 1300 Ordermore Ave.
Each year, the non-profit Dilworth Community Association (“DCA”) stages Charlotte’s oldest home tour with proceeds benefiting DCA efforts such as the fall Dilworth Jubilee, Conquer the Cankerworm tree banding, and contributions to groups such as Historic Charlotte. 20% of Home Tour proceeds support the DCA’s giving arm called Dilworth Cares. Dilworth Cares designates a local charity each year to receive funds from several neighborhood functions throughout the year.
The 2016 Dilworth Cares recipient is Dilworth Soup Kitchen (located in the same space as First Christian Church) which is where our driveway art is displayed.

There are times when your real-life and work-life magically align. For #thesavageway, that magic moment was when we were contracted to do some Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market.
Clean Graffiti for Healthy Home Market in Matthews, NC. #thesavageway
For this campaign, we focused on the Galleria / Matthews store location (1816 Galleria Blvd). We created an intricate stencil template to create the tree and promote the locally grown, locally owned premise. In fact, we based our design off of the print ad below (on the left) that is seen across Healthy Home Market’s promotion efforts. As you can see, we were able to adapt their message to the Clean Graffiti medium in an exceptional way.
The creative process can be very intricate for Clean Graffiti. #thesavageway

Recently, we completed a Clean Graffiti campaign for the opening of a new restaurant in Charlotte, NC – Babalu Tapas & Tacos.

We were able to incorporate the Babalu brand marketing initiatives seamlessly into a Clean Graffiti campaign. We used the tagline “Yours. Mine. Ours. Food Worth Sharing” and “The New Guac on the Block.” The spots went down around the Dilworth neighborhood area of Charlotte.

This is the second year that we’ve been lucky enough to work with the Isabella Santos Foundation, a non-profit fighting neuroblastoma. As in previous years, we were able to use Clean Graffiti to help promote their 9th annual 5K/10K for Kids Cancer on September 24, 2016 and push people to #BeatGrowLive.

Clean Graffiti for the Isabella Santos Foundation. Join their fight on 9.24.26. #thesavageway
Our Clean Graffiti went down throughout popular running areas in Charlotte, NC. Having an opportunity to work alongside this passionate and inspiring group has been amazing. Even better is we were able to take Isabella’s words, #BeatGrowLive, and translate them into Clean Graffiti artwork.
Love this Clean Graffiti for the Isabella Santos Foundation. #thesavageway
Isabella Santos Foundation 5K / 10K for Kids Cancer is on 9.24.16. #thesavageway
Isabella Santos fought a tough battle with neuroblastoma during her short years on this earth. She & her family had to navigate a foreign territory (cancer) that no family should have to travel. While her time was cut way too short, she left a legacy behind. You see, she had three wishes for her life: beat cancer, grow hair and live her dreams. The Isabella Santos Foundation exists so that other children and their families will one day not have to deal with this awful childhood cancer. They are fighting to #BeatGrowLive.

The 4th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Charlotte charity walk for Safe Alliance is taking place this Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 9am at NoDa Brewing Northend.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is this Saturday, August 27 at 9am. #thesavageway
This event is all about men (and women) raising awareness about rape and gender violence by walking a mile in heels. To quote Charlotte’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes ® flyer, “In spirit of the old saying “you can’t understand someone’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes,” Walk a Mile in Her Shoes ® literally asks men to walk a mile in women’s high heeled shoes. The event is a playful and fun opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes and effects of sexualized violence.”
Come Walk A Mile in heels on Sat. August 27 and support Safe Alliance. #thesavageway
